FIFA Infantino head describes group stage of World Cup in Qatar as best in history

MOSCOW, December 7 – RIA Novosti. International Football Federation (FIFA) President Gianni Infantino described the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar as the best in the history of the tournament.

Earlier, Infantino said that the 2018 World Cup in Russia was the best and most beautiful of all time. According to a statement published by FIFA, more than 2 million 45 thousand fans attended 48 matches of the World Cup group stage in Qatar, while this figure was 2.17 million in the 2018 World Cup.

“I’ve really watched all the matches and I will say very simply and clearly: This was the best group stage of the World Cup. So it’s very promising for the rest. The matches were of excellent quality and in beautiful stadiums. And quoted from FIFA’s official website Infantino said, “The audience was incredible. The average number of spectators exceeded 51 thousand,” he said.

“Record numbers on TV: we already had over two billion viewers, which is really incredible. Two and a half million people in the streets of Doha and several hundred thousand people in stadiums every day cheering for their teams together, it’s a great atmosphere.” “Great goals, incredible excitement and surprises,” he continued.

The World Cup in Qatar was the first match in which representatives of each football confederation reached the play-offs.

“There are no more small teams or big teams. The level is very, very even. Also, for the first time in history, national teams from all continents have made it to the playoffs. This shows that football has become truly global. The championship will continue and, as it started, end with spectacular success. I’m sure we’ll reach five billion viewers worldwide,” Infantino said.
